Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

This made the rounds when it first happened. Hopefully all occupants are recovering.

My question more recently is whether the undertray protected the HV battery in that crash.

Any latest update on the driver and passengers?

They may have lived but are they still functioning?

There’s an old, long thread on here somewhere about this. It provides a lot of detail.

Sounds like they’re all ok.

I didn’t think news like that would make it past our forum but a quick search of “6 flips” didn’t come up with anything.

Probably a 3.33mm dent, car totaled

I meant an update on the three passengers.

The guy was in critical condition but no idea on prognosis. Same with a girl with the broken back. It appears only one girl is in clear waters with a broken wrist only.

That guy and girl may very well be paralyzed for life.

When I spoke with the guy that knew them the impression that I got was that they came away without serious injury which was the most remarkable part. I didn’t look up details of the incident until after we parted ways so didn’t get into details. From the news reports it looks like two of the three only had minor injuries.

"Taycan rolls" only yields 3 results, one of which is the thread on this. Perhaps the number of flips has been contested

Or the battery survived with 2.99mm dents, available to swap into cars with 3.33mm dents.

Wow, that's crazy! Glad everyone involved seems to be okay. Hope they're all recovering well.

Good to hear!
